Guide & Strategy Breakdown

Counterjungle Nunu takes objectives off people with Consume (Q) true damage, makes a carry faster with Blood Boil (W), and holds a whole team still with Absolute Zero (R).

Counterjungle Nunu takes objectives off people with Consume (Q) true damage, makes a carry faster with Blood Boil (W), and holds a whole team still with Absolute Zero (R).

How it plays

Nunu decides who gets the objectives in Season 3, and it is usually him. Visionary hands him a free spellcast every 5 auto-attacks. Consume (Q) does up to 1,000 true damage to monsters, out-damaging Smite outright, and pays him maximum HP and movement speed for the trouble.

What to buy

  • Starting Items: Hunter's Machete and 5 Health Potions.
  • Core Build Rush: Boots of Mobility (grants Nunu and his hypercarry ADC +45% attack speed and +12% movement speed via Blood Boil W for rapid map rotations), Spirit of the Ancient Golem (Consume Q deals 1,000 true damage to monsters out-damaging Smite while Ancient Golem grants health, tenacity, and objective control), Ruby Sightstone (vision control lets Nunu channel 1,125 + 250% AP 5-man ultimate explosions from unwarded bushes), and Locket of the Iron Solari (grants teamwide magic resist and shield during objective fights).
  • Situational Options: Frozen Heart, Banshee's Veil, Randuin's Omen, and Abyssal Scepter.

Summoners and skill order

  • Smite and Flash.
  • Max Q (Consume) first for monster true damage and objective control. Max W (Blood Boil) second for +45% attack speed and +12% movement speed to yourself and your ADC. Max E (Ice Blast) third.

New to the champion?

Combos worth drilling

  • Consume-Smite Objective Steal: Approach Dragon/Baron -> Q (Consume) 1000 true damage + Smite simultaneously for 1800+ instant objective execution.
  • Blood Boil ADC Buff: Cast W (Blood Boil) on your hypercarry ADC before every fight for +45% attack speed and +12% movement speed.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Don't channel Absolute Zero (R) in vision: Channel R from unwarded river brush so enemies don't see the channel circle until it's too late.
  • Don't skip Consume buffs: Consume jungle monsters to keep your max HP and movement speed passive buffs active.

Playing it out

  • Early Game (Levels 1-5): Walk into the enemy jungle with Boots of Mobility. Use Q Consume + Smite to steal enemy Buffs (Blue/Red) before enemy junglers can finish them.
  • Mid Game (Levels 6-11): Solo Dragon using Consume (Q) true damage sustain. Keep Blood Boil (W) cast on your team's hypercarry ADC during all fights.
  • Late Game (Levels 12+): Hide in unwarded river brush and channel Absolute Zero (R) for a 1,125 + 250% AP 5-man slow explosion that resets teamfights.
